How many of you will be at the track friday? I'd like to see a few of us go up against some f-bodies.

Don't hurt me! I'm slow!!! Lol... I'll see if I can get our Turbo'd 625HP Camaro to come down and 'rep it for us.... he's still working on not blowing up the stock internals though... I'll see what I can do

Maybe If I make the race Friday, me and you can line up, after you learn how to launch that car.

Nevermind the fact that I ran 13.0 in the right lane.

Your jokes are weak, like your street racing skills.

Rusty car from the east coast was the culprit there man, insurance adjusters kind of know what they are doing. I remember Trevor nearly catching himself on fire in his old driveway trying to remove a bolt from the right rear suspension assembly using a torch to heat up the area to free it.

The right lane is the one that people always hit the wall in (Supras/Mustangs etc), that was my angle on that previous smartass remark, but if you have been around LVMS since the drag strip was around - you'd know what i mean.

Heh not nearly as easy as launching an AWD car... not simply "bring to redline and dump the clutch"... gotta come off with just enough wheelspin so you don't bog but don't spin all the way through 1st.... freakin pain but this'll be my 2nd time at the track... my 1st stick and I've been driving for just over a year... we can line up anways but just don't brag about beating the crap outta me

You'd need one since i've hit 12's in both lanes, But I still recommend people stay away from that right lane, seen way too many hairy incidents from it.

The old drag strip was different, both lanes were good but it was even more uphill than the new one.
